[Q] Bricked device - How to recover the phone

Hi, my friend just bricked her phone.. What happens is, that after booting it jumps right into the web browser... Nothing else.. The web is usable, but you know, it would be nice to be able to use the phone....
So how do I recover the phone? I tryed to download several things, but I'm used to flashing HD2's and it's nothing like that.. Would someone please help?

First I'd try hard reset - but she will lose all her data....only contacts are on Google...

Yeah, but how do I hard reset it?

1power off
2 hold vol. Down and press power button
3 now with vol down to recovery and press power ...screne with "!"
4 now hold vol high and press power... blue screne
5 go to "wipe factory reset" and press power....then go to "reboot device" and press power....

Good,
I have CWM recovery in my /recovery partition now, so I wasn't sure

I think it's Launcher pro (if it's installed), as the previous version expired yesterday

defy in bootloop after RSD Lite flash

Complete History:
The phone started out with a Carrier ROM (can't leave that one on, right?)
so, I flashed this: JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
and then used SuperOneClickRoot to root it, and pushed a recovery based on the Cyanogenmod Guide.
Installed CM7, it worked well, but I got greedy and wanted CM9.
Installed this: CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx.zip
Which worked, but would crash the play store on startup.
Installed this: CM9-ICS-MR0-111213-jordan.zip
Same Error.
Decided to try a CM10.1 Nightly: CM10.1-20130328-NIGHTLY-mb520.zip
This loaded, yet showed me 2 FC's on start up, and would not let me boot into recovery anymore.
Decided to try to go back to Stock to start over, so, I flashed this: JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
And it got stuck in a Bootloop.
flashed this: JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
Still in a bootloop but with a different animation.
Any Ideas?

found this:
Note: Some times when rebooting after RSD lite flash your phone stuck in bootloop(M logo or it continously loading in Android menu). It is better to go to stock recovery(Hold the vol - button and then power button and then release it. you will get android logo with exclamatory symbol. Press vol - and vol + button at the same time to get in to stock recovery). Select wipe data/factory and wipe cache.

this is exactly my error, though when i press both vol - and vol + button at the same time it doesn't do anything. Simply shows me the tiny droid and the exclamation mark.

OK when you get to the screen with the android figure and the exclamation mark, press you VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keys at the same time. Then navigate the menu using your VOLUME KEYS and once you have highlighted an option, use the POWER KEY to select.

yeah, when I press them, nothing happens.
There is no test or menu that appears.
Should I hold them for a long time ?
Should I press some in some kind of sequence ?

There is no sequence, you have to press them at the same time. Else there is a problem with your volume keys. I'll run you through stock recovery just to make sure.
1. Turn your device off.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button.
3. Whilst holding down the Volume Down button, turn on your device by pressing the Power button.
4. Once the screen turns on and the red 'M' appears, let go of the Power button but NOT the Volume Down button, keep holding that.
5. You'll be greeted by the android with the exclamation mark, now you can release the Volume Down button.
6. Press the Volume Down and Volume Up simultaneously (at the same time).
7. You'll now have a terminal on your screen from which you can navigate with your volume keys and select with your power button.
Hopefully that helps. Other wise I suggest you visit this thread:

Hopefully finding your stock sbf may help.

Tap the bottom right corner in recovery(android logo), then wipe.
For Froyo recoveries you need to tap bottom right corner a few times. For GB recoveries you need to press vol+ &- simultaneously.

ZTE Blade 2 GEN stuck on android logo after flashing. Hardware buttons aren't working

Hey guyz,
Could you help me please? I have ZTE Blade TFT phone with 2 gen ROM.
Unfortunatly hardware buttons are not working and can't be repaired. After flashing new ROM my phone is stuck on Android logo.
I have CWM installed, but unfortunatly I can't perform hard reset due the broken buttons.
I can't reflash it via other method as well, cause factory recovery is replaced by CWM.
I can't use a TPT method as menu button is not working as well.
Could you please recommend me any method to recover my phone?
Any feedback is welcome!

Okay dude keep calm maybe your phone is still alive.
Check:
-Do you can enter FTM Mode?
-When you put the device @ charging , does it show a charging animation?
If so or not , pull out battery out of device for 4-5 hours (!) , then put battery back in and try to go in recovery! Maybe then it will go ... If you need to put another ROM to device , just 'Mount and Storage" -> "Mount USB Storage" -> connect phone via USB to Computer and you are able to put another ROM to sdcard.
When you install new ROM
-2x Wipe Data&Factory Reset
-2x Wipe Cache
-2x Wipe Dalvik (under 'Advanced')
-Not needed but you can Wipe Battery Stats
-Install .zip from sdcard
-choose .zip from sdcard
-choose ROM , install and reboot.
I hope it helped!

Hi,
Thanks for assistance! Recovery is already installed. I'm not able to wipe data and cache due broken hardware buttons. Still don't have solution.

Flash this via Fastboot
This recovery is CWM touch recovery for Zte Blade. Name it 'recovery.img' and fastboot it.

This methods doesn't work for me as well. It progresses beyond the green android and load ROM logo.
Turn on your phone with volume up held and connect it to your computer. It should not progress beyond the green android. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for

To get in fastboot you have to hold the vol up key for around second and then press power on while holding vol up. I mean you shouldn't hold the two buttons at same time to power up.
1. Hold Vol Up key
2.While holding vol up , wait 3 seconds
3 While holding vol up , press power on now. At least you hold two buttons.
4.You should now be in fastboot mode.

[Q] HELP, my nexus 7 cant open settings

So, the thing is after i update my nexus 7 to JB4.3, I cannot open the settings menu at all, when i try to open the settings menu, this thing keep pop out "Unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped". So, I tried to reset it the "HARD" way to factory settings. After I did that, everything seems normal until the I try to choose the language. Guess what? this thing pop out again, "Unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped". Up to this point, I dont have any idea how to solve my problem. I have spent like half day try to search for this problem from multiple forums. I really hope that somebody can help me from this misery. Thanks alot.

Try a factory reset..
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note that you will lose all apps, etc.

I have done that already. And after i reboot, I cant proceed further because when I try to choose the language, the same message pop out again "Unfortunately, com.android.settings has stopped" Any idea about this?

Did you upgrade via a OTA, stock image, or a rom download? Also, did you verify the md5 checksum?

My nexus7 actually has never been rooted and I'm actually new to Android, so I am a bit dumb
But, i'm a quick learner, I will appreciate it if somebody can guide me step by step.

What about fix permissions command in recovery? Along with a dalvik and cache wipe?

My problem solve
Tanks from "riobenny" user for this help:
remove ur battery.
then, u must turn on ur phone by pressing power button, and volume down. hold those two button, till u find android puppet logo, and a triangle.
if previously u run eclair ---> touch the bottom screen, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache. (navigation entirely using touch screen)
if previously u run froyo ---> press vol up and vol down together, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache (the navigation is using vol key, to choose using power button)
after u wipe all data and cache, press REBOOT system.
but.... IMMEDIATELY after u press REBOOT, u must press vol up buttong and HOLD for around 6 seconds and then release.
after that, ur screen will show boatloader mode, and u can flash it again using FULL SBF froyo for fresh one.
